Ryan Kwanten talked to The Hollywood Reporter about Jason’s relationship with Andy Bellefleur (played by Chris Bauer), his situation with Crystal (played by Lindsay Pulsipher) and his tight uniform.
As a deputy now, Jason finds himself in a whole new position of authority in Bon Temps that comes with wearing the uniform. Oh, and that uniform. It wouldn’t be True Blood if the men’s best physical assets weren’t highlighted, right?
“It’s even tighter off-screen,” he says. “There was a good amount of laughing when I tried it on and then some squeamish looks as if to say, ‘Hang on a sec, what if you need to run in this thing?’”
“Running in it is relatively painful,” he continues. “So if you ever see Jason running in it, you can see a slight tinge of pain in my eyes.”
In the obvious news department, we have E! reporting that Lindsay Pulsipher will take the road already traveled by her True Blood mates on season 4. When asked if she would show something more than fur, she replied “Let’s just say that is water under the bridge.”
Oh? Is it a steamy scene with hottie Mr. Ryan Kwanten? Pulsipher laughed, “That’s all that I could give you.”
Obviously, we’ll be seeing more of Crystal turning into a black panther. The show uses two real panthers for the work. “They’re great, but you can’t really touch them,” Pulsipher said. “The trainers have really strict rules about what you can and can’t do. They’re just so majestic and so silently powerful.”
Some of the True Blood cast are in Chicago at C2E2 and some are at the Genesis Awards in Los Angeles. Carrie Preston (Arlene Fowler) and Lindsay Pulsipher (Crystal Norris) are at the Genesis Awards at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza.
True Blood Season 3, episode 7, “Hitting the Ground” is nominated for The Humane Society’s Genesis Award in the Best Dramatic Series category. The episode calls attention to the cruelty of dog fighting.
Every year, The Genesis Awards pays tribute to the major news and entertainment media for producing outstanding works that raise public awareness of animal issues.
HBO’s Inside True Blood Blog posted another Waiting Sucks video tonight. Spoiler alert on this – it confirms what book readers already know about Jason.
Lindsay Pulsipher, that shapeshifting, Jason Stackhouse loving, panther has gone home to Utah for the Sundance Film Festival to promote her new movie, The Oregonian. The Salt Lake Tribune asked her what it felt like to return to her old stomping grounds…
As a teen, Utah actor Lindsay Pulsipher would attend screenings at the Sundance Film Festival and imagine herself one day coming back as the star of her own feature-length movie. That fantasy is coming true this week.
Pulsipher has returned home to promote her new movie, “The Oregonian,” a psychological horror film that’s playing in the Park City at Midnight series.
“That was definitely a goal and a dream of mine to come back,” she said. “It feels amazing, especially growing up in Salt Lake.”
You might recognize the emerging actor for her role as Crystal, a shape-shifting were-panther in the HBO hit TV series “True Blood.” In her Sundance film, Pulsipher plays a woman in a car accident who doesn’t know where she’s at — or even if she’s still alive.
“It’s a very strange exploration film, a kind of a psychosis of the mind,” Pulsifer said. “She doesn’t know if she’s alive or dead or in purgatory, and it’s her journey on where she’s going and who she’s going to become.”
It’s Pulsipher’s fifth film, including four shorts and this feature-length film, with “The Oregonian” director Calvin Lee Reeder, whom she also is dating. They live together in Los Angeles. Read More »
